Preheat the Oven: Begin by warming your oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit the 9-inch pie dish with your chosen pie crust and set aside.
Prepare the Filling: In a substantial mixing bowl, blend the pumpkin puree with brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg until thoroughly mixed.
Add the Eggs and Liquids: Introduce the eggs one at a time, fully integrating each before the next addition. Stir in the heavy cream and bourbon until the mixture is smooth.
Fill the Crust and Bake: Transfer the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust, smoothing out the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Cool the Pie: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack to ensure the texture sets properly and the flavors develop fully.
Brûlée the Top: Before serving, evenly distribute the granulated sugar over the pie’s surface. Caramelize the sugar with a kitchen torch until golden and crisp. Alternatively, broil the pie briefly, watching closely to avoid burning.
Serve and Enjoy: Cut the pie into slices and serve. The delightful contrast between the creamy pumpkin filling and the crispy sugar topping makes for a delectable treat.
